Arlo Guthrie

Folk/rock

8 p.m. Saturday, April 15

Mondavi Center

Last year, wispy-haired folk icon Arlo Guthrie blazed the road celebrating the 50th anniversary of his unofficial Thanksgiving anthem “Alice’s Restaurant.” This year, his extensive tour leans heavily on a retrospective of his 1969 “Running Down the Road,” while also dipping into “Arlo” and “Washington County.” There are only a few scattered tickets left. $27-$65 www.mondaviarts.org

Deacon Free with Jessica Malone

Folk/soul/rock

8 p.m. Thursday, April 20

Naked Lounge

If you consider Thursday April 20 a holiday, Deacon Free’s hazy grooves will pair quite nicely. The upstart young trio is a new face in Sacramento but shows some lots of potential upshot with soulful and irreverent hooks and wandering lyricism. Local singer/songwriter Jessica Malone joins the bill with her Americana/jazz tinged pop, as does folk singer Sierah Daring. (1111 H St.) $5. www.facebook.com
